if the seller has good ratings and feedbacks, generally ok.

I usually pick from those with hundreds of ratings and feedbacks.

If product is rare and not easily available in Singapore then can buy from eBay from those sellers with good ratings... Otherwise should buy local cos in case anything faulty still can find the seller here. If buy from overseas then find faulty in the end, you probably can't do much other than giving the seller a negative rating...

depends on what u buy...if the cost price is low, can try telling the seller the one u received is faulty. the really good ones may just send u another one for free.

Its fine, but try and buy it from online companies rather than individuals. Also use paypal as it allows for buyer protection without costing you a cent.

Bought a Top Mount Intercooler as well as a turbo inlet hose from two US Companies from ebay. Paid very low for a very good product. Just do proper research about the product and the company you are buying from and everything should be fine. FYI, the product arrived in about 5 days ( very fast, I was surprised ) and in perfect condition, extremely well packed.

Hi.

 

I bought a car on Ebay before when I was in the USA.

 

Secured the highest bid, bough a one way ticket to Houston - picked up the car and drove 2 days back to my place.

 

It was a flawless purchase - the car was perfect and no hassle or scam.

 

In Singapore, sellers tend to give far less info and pictures - so may not be as reliable.

I think....Is Taking Risks......
